Michelle, ma belle!

What can I say when a friend, great designer and blogger calls me a Goddess? I was stunned and surprised and I giggled of course. To know more about what I am talking you need to go to the Blog A Schematic Life, by Michelle Morelan, and you will read about my daily life in

"Six objetsde vie"

starting with my precious cup of coffee in the morning.

It was an honor to be part of this extraordinary blog, always full of superb drawings, educational videos, new ideas. A true learning experience.

jwelcome...I admire Michelles work and agree with your philosophy that living a gracious life takes no more time than not. Pull out the cloth napkins, fluff the pillows and enjoy a pb&j sandwich on your limoges china...it will taste so much better.

Wow. I hope we can still have coffee. I do remember my early lessons of hanging pictures for you and Nori. The level I had would be overruled by what you two would see.I never used it again at your place.Ha.. I love her story about having coffee with you. I know what she means. I'm sure you made it a special moment. I'm so happy your work is expressing yourself and taking you to great things and good people. I love the Arts for that.I really enjoyed the article and happy to say we know this Goddess. Stay humble. All the best.

Thanks all for your nice and/or fun comments. This is the best part of being a blogger, making friends and share not only ideas but also moments of daily life. I am now going to search for my old tiara (bought at a garage sale of course).

I'm lucky enough to live just down the block from Albarosa so we often get together. When I am in her eclectic and stunning home I feel as though I'm in downtown Milano. Her sense of style is so classy and unlike that of anyone else I know. Plus, she's great fun to be with.

Yes Albarosa you should find that tiara and get used to wearing it. Who you are is reflected in your posts. I for one also appreciate the care you take to respond to your readers and make everyone feel that their opinions matter, that takes class.

"The Italian Way"

This blog is about interior design and art and I will present an Italian version of them, with new trends, timeless decor, iconic pieces, design ideas. At times I will be just musing about "a certain Italian way of doing things". Follow me on this virtual journey to my country.

The world of Downton Abbey I confess: I never saw one episode of Downton Abbey until a few weeks ago when I started following the ...

Brillante fans say

Having grown up in Austria I love your European perspective blended with North-American flair. Also, your photos are gorgeous! I look forward to learning more.

Claudia Juestel, Interior designer.

Albarosa, you are the best museum guide I have ever known. You have so much knowledge about the arts that it was mind boggling. I am certainly more educated because of our time together and for that I also thank you. Ciao, Tobi.

Tobi Fairley, Interior designer and blogger.

I am really enjoying your blog entries. I am so glad you are bringing such a refreshing side to the blogosphere.

Ivan Meade, Interior designer, artist and blogger.

I like the way your blog treats me to wonderful surprises I might otherwise never see. I love your taste - a wonderful poet mix of grand and humble, elegant and unpredictable and sadly it is something we don't get to see often in North America where "purchasing power" often outstrips taste. Albarosa, there is always so much to learn from your blog. Brava.

Studio Judith, artist and blogger

We spent an hour looking through the wonderful images at Brillante Home Decor, an exciting design blog that we stumbled across. The author has an incredible eye for finding juxtapositions between the modern and classical styles.
